What you say about Dems is inaccurate. Democrats in the House all voted against the last Republican tax heist for the rich; and when they are in the minority they can't do anything about it. Obama consistently opposed Republican tax cuts for the rich , the complete opposite of what you say. Obama's Obamacare was the first addition to Democrat Lyndon's Johnson's War on Poverty since Johnson, so you are way off , basically either ignorant or not telling the truth about the House Dems and Obama being part of the problem; they are the solution. Even Clinton got a tax hike on the rich. Dems and Republicans are more and more different on class issues in last decade as they were in the New Deal and Great Society/War on Poverty.
